step 1 of 5

I cut out the fish with pen tool and make it longer by copying parts from it and using clone to repair.

step 2 of 5

Took a crack in the wood plank an warped it to make fish bones. Kept copying and modifying until they look good.

step 3 of 5

Making the 'wings' of the fish by pasting fish skin between the new bones i made.
Hope it makes sense what i just said cause i don't know how you call those parts.
I also had to make the bones fit into the fish so that they don't look like pasted, in High Res you'll see those details that make it look natural.

step 4 of 5

Made the bacground by looking into this tutorial:

I used clouds, gradient, plastic wrap to make the surface.

step 5 of 5

I tried to mak a bubble brush, and as you can see i faied 3 times but got the last one righ.
It had to have a white background to work and h interiour must be white as well to make it transparent.
I made it with dodge inside a circle selection.

Final result

Lost of typing errors, cause of the the night hour. My english sucks between 1-2 am.
I should also mention that applied a motion blur at the end, but it might not be enough to show the movement.
